I am a Sailor

Self Portrait /Kristof Persyn 2009

Looking for Archetypes which mirrors elements of my personality, I have portrayed myself as a sailor. Back in 2009, being an rootless traveller since very long, the Sailor was an Icon which helped me to understand myself. This insight brought me to an embarkment. In Amsterdam -where Sailors meet Sailors- I got a tattoo of an Anchor. If someone does not find his place, he has to find it within. The tattoo anchored me in me.
